Vulnerability scanning can also help organizations comply with regulatory requirements for security.
It is essential that your organization’s records retention schedule is compliant with the data protection requirements in the jurisdictions where your organization operates. This task may seem overwhelming since jurisdictions around the world are enacting new laws, regulations, and requirements; and organizations are continuing to expand their jurisdictional footprint.
Information governance and records management are important considerations for all organizations. New data and documents are generated at ever-increasing rates through the normal (and “new normal”) course of business, and these data and documents must be maintained for different periods of time to satisfy their business and legal compliance purposes.
So, you’re ready to digitize your business records to maintain compliance with government and industry regulations. Should you be looking for a document management system or software that is exclusively for records management? Actually, document management enables you to digitize and archive both documents and records. Let’s explore the differences between the two to clarify the situation.
